Bring on the party at Sliders Seaside Grill because, frankly, this is one happening place in Fernandina Beach.

Not only are the views stunning, but they also thought of every scenario to have a great time.

Do you want to bring the kids but they can’t sit still? Take them to Sliders and the first-class playground will keep them busy while mom and dad eat on the patio or porch.

Want to have drinks and appetizers with the salt air in your face, eat near the Tiki Bar and enjoy the live bands every night?

How about a big party for a special occasion? No problem; we saw the wait staff service a table of 17 while a wedding party was in the next room tucking into a buffet … and our service was still fast, efficient and friendly.

With three bars, a patio, porch, downstairs dining and upstairs dining, your seating choices are varied. We ate in the newly remodeled second-floor dining room with its cheerful green walls and exposed duct work.

Downstairs the place was rocking and it was a bit loud, but upstairs was perfect. The ambient noise from the Tiki Bar band was audible through the large glass doors behind our table and we could see the ocean over the dunes. It was beautiful.

With standard beers, both draft and bottled, and a mix of some specialty ales like Torpedo and Sweetwater 420, the beer selection was nicely rounded. The wine list was decent but standard.

We ordered the Fried Pickles ($7) and found the batter crispy and the dish hot and delivered within 15 minutes of ordering. The “Wing It” Wings ($10) were perfect. They were crispy and meaty, hot and finger-licking yummy, with just the right amount of heat. You should plan on getting extra napkins if you order the wings.

The Southwestern Eggrolls ($8) were a disappointment, though. The grilled chicken, roasted corn, grilled pepper and black beans tasted like a hot pocket filling and they were soggy and doughy.

We were mesmerized by the casual professionalism and effortless timing of the wait staff and servers.

Watching the dining rooms’ ebb and flow of food, patrons and clearing was elegant choreography.

Any restaurant wishing to tighten its service should ask Sliders how it trains its staff. The 32-ounce sodas were refilled often and our server was cheerful and helpful.

We had the Two Seafood Items ($23) with Crab Cake and Fried Shrimp.

The crab cake was flavorful and had the balance of crab to breading that was just right. It was pan-seared with a crispy exterior.

The fried shrimp were big and flavorful, but the batter was salty and didn’t adhere well to the shrimp. The coleslaw was crispy and cool and the battered fries were addictive.

A Flounder and Crab Au Gratin ($24) was garnished with fresh basil and tomato.

I was hoping for a little more flavor, but the flounder was delicate and flaky and it was layered over lump crab with subtle flavors of garlic.

The hush puppies were decent, but they needed something other than the corn flavor. They were, however, large and perfectly cooked.

A serious key lime pie is hard to find. And the slice of the Sliders Original Key Lime Pie ($6) to finish our meal was smooth and tart with a thin crust complementing the perfect balance of the pie.

Fresh whipped cream instead of the pre-packed whipped stuff would have been a better topping for this wonderful pie.

If it is for a large party or a small family dinner, the casual atmosphere of Sliders is really fun. It felt like a party in every part of the restaurant.

I wanted to have drinks in the back by the neon-lit Tiki Bar, but was too stuffed to want anything else. I know where I am going for wings next time I have a craving, and I’m sitting by the Tiki Bar with a beer.

With the ocean crashing close by and the band playing, six napkins later, I will be happily licking my fingers.
